O would not say paltry. There is something different to like in all three. In the first you have great wood grain, and your simple but curved text is sylish without interfering. On the second one that does not have much woodgrain, the dark strips and wood truss rod cover accent it just enough.

What I like about the third one is what you figured out to put in the "bulb." That's often space that looks kind of empty...and attempts to fill it don't always work. My SX bass did it well. So does yours.

thanks Fender, very kind words. I think the third is also my favourite, it’s a build for a long time colleague and the “Kangaroo Island Special Edition” is a shared in joke for us.

My ESB4. I see its got a scratch already!

The tree of life MOP inlay is really nice. I don't see the scratch, so you should probably stop telling people about it ;-)

But if one person, feeling depressed and unhappy about a scratch on their hard work, sees my post and thinks "at least I'm not the only one" then I've made the world a slightly better place, and that's a good thing...

By that reasoning my last build is Prozac ;-)

Sonic you are the king of the decals. I am curious about what's under a couple of these. The Steampunker in particular. Love the compass. Also is "Victory" an Airline style?

How do you mean "Under"? The rest of the guitar?

The Victory is my first go a building a body and its a flying V rip off, but a bit different.

Of you click on my user name you can go and have a look at my builds under the 'latests threads' link, but here are those two.

Yes that's what I meant ;-)

Looks great, I especially like the body color, what process did you use ?? Is that a stain color or ebonzing what did you use for the final coat ?? Nice touch with the Octopus tentacles and bridge, that looks like quite a bit of work, well done.
